First post so go steady.

Skoda superb 2.0 2013 170bhp auto

Fault code p0087, glow plug light comes on when accelerating hard.

Car starts flick of a key no problem, so not injectors.

New fuel filter

P0087 is low fuel pressure

So swapped both sensors on fuel rail and sensor on top of pump.

Had it rolling roaded and messed with fueling and still does it.

So anymore cheaper suggestions before I buy a high pressure fuel pump.

Any suggestions for a pump???

Have you ever had problem ??? As that's all the code means????

Welcome to the forum.

Best suggestion surely would be to have the fuel pump pressure tested?

Swapping out sensors without knowing what you're doing is never a good idea.
First you have to determine the actual fuel pressures, both the low pressure side (between tank and high-pressure fuel pump) and the high pressure side (in the common rail). Both can probably be read by VCDS.

If you know which sensor has the faulty reading, you replace it with a different meter. If it still reads too low, you know what the problem is.

But remember, when a fuel pump does not produce enough pressure, the fault does not have to be in the pump itself. It can also be a problem in the wiring or the control of the pump.
